Chapter 182: Feeding the Mountain God
"But when I came back, I saw that everyone seemed to be a different person, and they were all in a hurry.
I want to buy some gifts and bring them back to my grandmother, but there are no shops open for business, so I wonder if my mother-in-law knows where to sell gifts? I would like to buy some and go back to make my grandmother happy and happy, and to forgive me for being an unfilial granddaughter. ”
When the old grandmother heard Ah Yue say this, her face changed suddenly, and she immediately pulled her aside: "Little girl, listen to your mother-in-law's words, quickly find a place to hide...... I believe that your grandmother will bring her the best gift when she sees you return safely. ”
After the old grandmother finished speaking, she instructed Ah Yue a few words, dragged her inflexible legs, and disappeared into the street.
And Fang Yan and the others, as early as when Ah Yue stepped forward, hid aside and did not let the old woman see it, but they all heard the conversation between Ah Yue and the old woman.
At this time, Ah Yue also followed the location of Fang Yan and a few people, and walked over, when a few people were about to discuss something, they didn't want a team of people to be approaching here quickly.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the sound of wheels turning also came, and Fang Yan and the others were stunned, but after glancing at each other, they did not avoid it.
Soon, this team of horseback guards appeared in front of Fang Yan and the others.
At this time, Fang Yan and the others had already hidden their cultivation, and on the surface, they seemed to be just mortals.
At this moment, Fang Yan and the others set off a storm in their hearts, because the leader of the horses was actually the Wang Wenxiu they had crossed paths with in that dream scene before.
What's even more surprising is that Wang Wenxiu seems to have completely forgotten Fang Yan and the others, and his eyes are very strange when he looks at Fang Yan.
However, Cui Weibi did not appear with her, which was a bit surprising, after all, what I saw that day, the relationship between the two of them seemed to be very good.
I don't know what happened that day, so that Wang Wenxiu appeared here alone.
What's even more surprising is that the Wang Wen embroidery that day was just a cultivation in the Dao period, but now the Wang Wen embroidery that appeared in front of Fang Yan and them has actually recovered to the cultivation of the foundation building period, which is really incredible.
"Everyone, be careful, Wang Wen embroidery is no longer Wang Wen embroidery, but a dream spirit. ”
Guan Qingtong whispered to Fang Yan and the four of them, and the four of them were shocked, what happened that day?
"Arrest them!"
After Wang Wenxiu gave an order, the four Ning Yuan period monks who followed her immediately stepped forward and surrounded Fang Yan's five people.
The thing that makes people care is that Wang Wenxiu really doesn't remember Fang Yan and a few people at all, and the previous dream spirit is not so forgetful!
I still remember that Guan Qingtong once said that Mengling has all the ontological memories and cognitions, and after Guan Qingtong's reminder, it has been determined that the Wang Wenxiu embroidery in front of him is indeed Mengling.
So what happened to this Wang Wenxiu?
To be sure, she must have had a different experience than the other dreamers to be like this.
At this moment, among Fang Yan's several people, the highest cultivation was only Fang Yan, a cultivator of the Ning Yuan Period, and the rest of the people were only in the Cultivation Period.
Although Fang Yan was fifty percent sure in his heart that he had escaped from Wang Wenxiu's hands in the foundation building period, the safety of Guan Qingyun and a few people could not be guaranteed, and after weighing it, Fang Yan and the others finally decided not to resist.
What's more, if it was really as the old woman said just now, Fang Yan and the others would be taken to that place, there would be a new clue for tracking down Long Ming's whereabouts.
Of course, there will definitely be some risks, but at the moment, apart from this line, Fang Yan and they have no other clues, and they can only test one or two.
"Let's go!"
After Wang Wenxiu shouted, Fang Yan and the others were caught on a wide prison car, and then Fang Yan and the five were locked in a prison.
This prison is not big, but it is wide and long, and after Fang Yan and the five people entered, it was not spacious, but it was not too crowded.
Then, the wheels under the prisoner's car slowly rolled forward under the leadership of Wang Wenxiu.
At this time, the aborigines hidden on both sides of the street quietly poked their heads out, and their faces flashed with pity, but when the king embroidered the road, they shrank back into the shadows of the corners.
A few days later, Fang Yan and the others appeared in front of a mountain peak, which was very small compared to Weidu Mountain, but in the mortal world, it could already be called tall and majestic.
"It seems that we are going to be taken and sacrificed to the mountain god!"
Elder Wan spoke.
Fang Yan nodded: "I just don't know who this mountain god is? It's the first time I've heard of a mountain god who doesn't eat people, but likes to starve people to death." ”
It turned out that the news that Ah Yue heard from her grandmother before was that the reason why everyone was in a hurry and all the shops and restaurants were closed was that it was the third day of the third month of March recently, which was the day when sacrifices were needed to be made to the mountain gods.
And Guan Qingtong had already used the Tiandu sundial to calculate the time, and was shocked to find that today was indeed the second day of the third month, and it seemed that the time flow rate here was consistent with the time recorded by the Tiandu sundial.
At this moment, Fang Yan and the five of them were sacrificed to the mountain god of this mountain.
As for what the mountain god is, the old woman can't say clearly, in short, the legend says that the mountain god is a three-headed and six-armed fierce existence, but the appearance of the mountain god is only living in everyone's legends.
Therefore, there will be such a scarcity of talents on the streets, and if it weren't for the unavoidable hardship, no one would want to go out at this point in time.
As sacrifices, the first choice is a beautiful woman and a handsome man, but they all meet the requirements.
But sometimes if there is no such person, other people will also be pulled to fill the number, so although the people in the town are very worried, if they are forced to do so, people who are not too outstanding will still have luck to go out.
And the reason why Fang Yan and the others attracted much attention before, many people wanted to stop talking, and there were also some thoughts in their hearts that wanted to remind them, but at the same time, they thought that if they were arrested, it would be better than if their close people were arrested, so they were also contradictory in their hearts.
The old grandmother revealed that in the past, when it was time to sacrifice to the mountain god, there was often a warrior named Long Ming, who went to replace everyone with his own strength, and was able to come back successfully.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Long Ming is a kind of savior-like existence, and he must also have some kind of divine power, so that he can return safely.
But a few years ago, Long Ming disappeared, so there were no more people to sacrifice, so some people grabbed sacrifices in the streets and sacrificed them to the mountain god.
And the people who grab the sacrifices are often immortal masters who have cultivated to a high level, so as long as they are unlucky enough to be regarded as sacrifices, they cannot escape.
